This will, hopefully, clear some things up around here. For one, that's not Zizek we're all holding. Everybody, even YH, should go play God right now. And yes, once complete, the Long Sunday Lego set will, one presumes, be made available for "purchase." Obviously, this would be a declaration of No Theory Day, although you know I think they've been mistaking our No Theory Days for "Theory" over in The Valve. How bizarre. Let's call it No Theory Morning, rather.
And in the afternoon...a Long Sunday Book Event!
Here it is:
Read it for your damn self.
(The introduction is available through Google Print. Try also searching within under "literature.")

yeah, that's definitely Sartre's Critique of Dialectical I'm clutching in my paw there. The lego programme was great but lacked a long straight tresses option - my hair certainly never possesses that level of voluminosity in real life. Er, sadly.

IT,
the hair was a problem for me too; nothing really matched.
S's mullet, however, is something to behold.

Obviously, from looking at these more closely, all of us are recovering alcoholics and chain smokers with peevish and resentful jobs in tome-grasping. Ideally, there would be a PC, happy and polite version as well. But not unless everyone else does it honestly first.
That means you Carl, Alain, John, Mark, YH, Christoph, Amie, David, DPW, Pope.
Seriously.

Apart from the cigarettes, I worry about how many of the above are snarling/frowning. Is capitalism really all that bad? It can't be doing good things to one's complexion. Let alone all the clutching of heavy books. Bad for the back, dears.

The size of the book is definitely a problem. Clearly, the designers of the lego program are trying to tell us all something.

Or the publishing industry

Please pardon my lamentable ignorance on the subject, but I'd love to hear a bit about the (hi)story of "lego"?

It seems to've ended due to flagrant non-participation.

I prefer playmobil:

Sorry, is that you in the center then, R.Mutt?
Posted by: Long Sunday Legotiator | Oct 12, 2005 2:00:56 AM
Yes, but that wasn't me at 10:43:01!
Posted by: David | Oct 12, 2005 4:36:34 AM
Yes, it has been a little difficult to keep track lately. At the same time, I'm glad people feel comfortable commenting anonymously. If you (and Amie) put Long Sunday as your URL in the future though, then we will know for sure (impersonators will of course be shot). Thanks.

Thank you, Alphonse.
